La Geria by bike

La Geria by bike is one of the nicest short rides in Lanzarote. Vines grow in pits of black ash, each behind a low stone wall: this is the wine country of the island.

~ = approximate: distance and climbing change with your start point and the way you ride. Riding time is an estimate of time in the saddle, from a sporty to a relaxed rider on the best bike for the route, without wind or stops.

The ride

From Yaiza to Masdache and back is about 31 km with around 350 m of climbing. You ride through Uga and then on the LZ-30, the road that crosses La Geria from Uga to Mozaga, by the Monumento al Campesino.

The vines grow in hollows dug down through the volcanic ash, each with a curved stone wall on the windward side. Bodegas line the road: Bodega La Geria has a shop and a terrace, and El Grifo at Masdache, making wine since 1775, runs tours you can book.

The LZ-30 is a main road with traffic. Ride in single file and keep to the right.

The way

  1. 1. Yaiza to Uga

    From the white village of Yaiza to Uga, where the LZ-30 begins.

  2. 2. Through La Geria

    North-east on the LZ-30 through the vineyards, past Bodega La Geria.

  3. 3. Masdache and back

    Turn round at El Grifo in Masdache and ride back the same way to Yaiza.

Stops

The bodegas on the LZ-30 are the stops on this ride. Taste, but go easy: Spain's drink limits apply on a bike too (and the limit is zero under 18).

Tips

From Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca, add the ride to Yaiza, or ride the whole LZ-30 to the Monumento al Campesino: Yaiza to the Monumento and back is about 40 km.

There is no shade in the vineyards. Take water and sun cream.
